[FireGurl26]

Got this idea replying to a pretty old thread.
Some of the scariest movies i remember to this day are:

Trilogy of Terror (Amelia)
1408
Carnival of Souls
Black Christmas
Magic (1978)
Freaks
Communion
Something Wicked This Way Comes.
DreamScape

Just to name a few

 

[Doc Creed]

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

 

[Tery]

Trilogy of Terror

This one scared the beejezus out of me!

Halloween (1978). This is my end-all-be-all of horror films. It scared me to death and led to years of nightmares. I love it.
The Exorcist - Of course. This one haunts you for days.
The Strangers - Probably not going to make too many people's list, but the tension in this movie is almost unbearable.
Contagion - Not really a horror film, but man it ought to be.
The Haunting (original Robert Wise film, not the crappy remake)- still holds up. Creepy as hell.
Psycho - Call me old-fashioned
The Conjuring - it goes off the rails near the end, but the first hour or so of this film is absolutely terrifying.

Only a few. I love horror movies and could go on for days about this topic.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974)

On my favorite podcast (Horror Movie Podcast, that is), the host made the best comment about Texas Chainsaw. I'm paraphrasing but it was along the lines of: at a certain point, you realize you no longer trust the director to deliver you to safety by the end of this film.

Brilliantly put. It's one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen. Still.

Oh, before I forget: Night of the Living Dead (1968) scared the hell out of me too, and that one left you thinking long and hard afterward.

You've got some films listed there that are definitely outside the box on this topic. Well done!

[Anduan Pirate Princess]

The Watcher in the Woods, although produced by Disney, was really creepy. I saw it when I was really young, and I still have a thing about mirrors.

And, of course, The Ring. I have never been so terrified by a movie. I would never, ever watch that again.

 

[muskrat]

Creepshow. On so many levels, it has warped my entire existence. I probably got more out of that movie than Steve and George put in it.

RIP, George.

 

[arista]

House of 1000 corpses.

 

[GNTLGNT]

....I toss my hat in for Trilogy of Terror as well.....this little snot head gave me mental diarrhea......

 

[muskrat]

I meant to add, about Creepshow, that having nearly drowned as a wee rat, I had a deeply seeded fear of water/drowning, and that scene in Something To Tide You Over, lordy, I could barely watch it. Probably scared me more'n any other flick. Still gives me the creeps.

The Deer Hunter. The last Russian Roulette scene gave me nightmares for a week. That very rarely happens with me.

Jaws. Scared the crap out of me as a SwiftPup and led to a life long fascination with sharks.

The Deer Hunter --intense film. That russian roulette scene gave me such anxiety while watching it. And Robert and Christopher had me right there with them. They were so good in that scene.

Yes. I was in my mid-20s first time I saw it. I watched it with SwiftDad on VHS and it still gave me nightmares.

You should watch (if you haven't seen it already, that is) Magic (1978) which stars Anthony Hopkins. FireGirl26 listed it in her 1st post in this thread.
